ANNOUNCING – The Sunnydale Project! (Sept 1 – Oct 31, 2012)
I’ve got an exciting announcement to make today. TLT will be co-hosting, along with Patricia from Patricia’s Particularity and Rachelia from Bookish Comforts, a two month long Buffy the Vampire Slayer appreciation event this fall called The Sunnydale Project! The event will be taking place on all three blogs from September 1 to October 31st, 2012 and each of us will be providing something new, so be sure to follow Patricia and Rachelia if you aren’t already so you don’t miss out!
As a teen services librarian, and a fan, Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been an important part of both my personal life and my professional one. Buffy really captured the spirit of teenage angst. She was an inspiring female role model. And the tie-in novels really helped get teens into the library and reading. Today, the Buffy series continues on in comic book form. So although the series may be over for tv watchers, it is not over for readers.
We are SO excited for this event and thought we would get you excited too by giving you a little “sneak peek” of what’s in store!
V reviews V discussions V giveaways V watch-a-longs V a scavenger hunt V fan fiction V trivia V lists V quotes V character sketches V guest posts V & more!

Eee! SO excited about this. Buffy premiered when I was in 7th grade and majorly helped me get through middle/high school. Love this show beyond words. Can't wait to see the Sunnydale Project come to life!
Thank you so much! BTVS was my first and still my favorite fandom. I look forward to enjoying your posts.
